Chapter 0359
The
door opened, revealing a simple room with only a bed inside.
Lying on the bed was a woman.

It wasn’t Charlotte, but a disfigured woman whose features were entirely unrecognizable.
Riley noticed her too and asked, “Who are you?”
The woman seemed unable to hear, showing no reaction at all.
“Boss, she must be deaf. With the noise you made from kicking the door open, she didn’t react at all.”
Suzy realized the woman wasn’t just deaf but also mute. Her tongue was gone!
What kind of hatred could drive Charlotte to such cruelty?
The room contained nothing but this woman. There was no sign of Charlotte anywhere.
Turning to Riley, Suzy said, “Stay here and keep watch. I’ll check if there are any other
rooms.”
There might be hidden chambers nearby. After all, this place was relatively safe for Charlotte.
Besides, although the woman was immobile, her breathing was steady, indicating that Charlotte had been here recently. Otherwise, without someone feeding her, there was no way she could have survived for so many days.
Riley hesitated for a moment, wanting to offer to go instead, but swallowed her words.
It was pointless–her boss would never agree.
Suzy searched every corner of the basement but found no other rooms besides this one. Suddenly, Riley’s voice rang out in alarm. “Boss, watch out-!”
Suzy turned just in time to see the woman on the bed charging straight at her.
It turned out she wasn’t paralyzed. Not only could she move, but her speed was terrifying. As the woman reached her, she launched a relentless attack, every move aiming to kill.
“Boss, I think this woman has been hypnotized by Charlotte. Earlier, she didn’t even look at me, but now she’s targeting you directly.”
Suzy could see it clearly now.
This woman was nothing more than a puppet created by Charlotte, designed specifically to attack her.

A hypnotized puppet possessed extraordinary strength and wouldn’t stop until their target was eliminated!
This unidentified woman, turned into such a state by Charlotte, was already pitiful enough. So, when Suzy made her move, she held back some of her strength.
Seizing the right moment, she moved behind the woman and inserted a silver needle into the back of her head.
As the needle went in, the woman’s movements came to an abrupt halt.
Riley let out a long sigh of relief. “Finally, it stopped! I have to say, Charlotte is both vile and cunning, using such a vicious trick. But seriously, what could this woman have done to her to deserve being turned into this…”
Before Riley could finish, the woman broke free from Suzy’s hold, and her words stuck in her throat.
Even though Suzy had struck precise pressure points to immobilize her, the woman recovered within moments and launched a new wave of attacks on Suzy.
“Boss, this woman must have been drugged by Charlotte, not just hypnotized. Otherwise, there’s no way she’d still be able to move!”
For someone to move even after having their nerves targeted was clearly abnormal!
Suzy frowned deeply. “Find some rope!”
No matter how dangerous the situation was, Suzy refused to take this woman’s life.
She was just an innocent victim, abused by Charlotte, and turned into a tool. How could she deserve such a cruel fate?
Understanding Suzy’s sentiments, Riley quickly went to look for rope. However, there was none in the hidden chamber, so she decided to head out to search for some.
It was also a chance to report the situation inside to Allen.
When Allen saw Riley come out, he immediately asked, “Why are you out here alone? Where’s Boss?”
